Re: Get thumbnail with TypeScript
hey Greg-DB - when i try that, i get the following:
TypeError: fetch is not a function at /Users/rosiew/Repositories/backend/packages/rest/.webpack/service/handler.js:441710:16 at processTick...
Greg-DB it is! Using: "node-fetch": "2.6.1".
In the past when I've tried I've received a different error. and i just tried it again and got this: `TypeError: _this.fetch is not a function`.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for checking that. It's not clear why this is failing. Can you inspect what your 'fetch' or '_this.fetch' is in fact, if not a function?
fetch is either a Function or undefined! Greg-DB
Here is an error message to add more context - i dont understanad what "dropbox_fetch" is. When i dont include fetch in the constructor I still receive an error regarding fetch.

But not here. Ireally dont see what i am doing wrong. The function just completely fails with one of these `fetch` errors. No matter what I try.
async getThumbnail(path: string😞 Promise<any>{return this.manager.execute(async () => {const data: any = await this.client.filesGetThumbnail({path: path}).then((response:any) => {console.log('got filesGetThumbnail response:');console.log(response);console.log('got thumbnail data:');console.log(response.result.fileBinary)}).catch(error => {console.log('got filesGetThumbnail error:');console.error(error);});return ''})}- Greg-DB
Regarding your "fetch is either a Function or undefined" comment, are you saying that in one case "fetch" was actually a function, but you still got the "fetch is not a function"? That would be unexpected. And that in the other case "fetch" was actually undefined? In that case the error would be expected.
Anyway, "dropbox_fetch" is not a name used in the SDK. Was that a variable name you set somewhere?
In any case, I can't reproduce this issue, so please provide a small sample project that reproduces it so we can look into it here. Thanks!
hey Greg-DB thanks again for all of your help. it turned out to be a webpack issue and not related to the SDK.
